1 Introduction Transparent, high quality risk-reporting is an essential part of effective risk management. Without it, a financial firm may devote substantial efforts to modeling and measuring risk without this having a major impact on decision making and risk taking. Risk-reporting software should supply high quality graphical and tabular outputs. The software should permit customizable reports to cater for different types of users within the organization. It must also be secure and easy to use, and capable of supplying printed output in various formats. is an innovative risk-reporting application developed with these objectives in mind - a web-based application that enables users to view tables, charts and editorial commentaries on risk-data output from our flagship risk-modeling application, Risk Controller. can also be customized to draw data from other database systems, so it may be integrated with other risk models and proprietary sources of information about a company s portfolio or risk policies. The Application displays risk-data outputs in a series of customizable web-page reports, exposing the results for any given risk-model simulation through a combination of text, tables and charts. users are allocated to groups, and members of different groups have access to different sets of reports and model runs. Thus, for example, may be configured to allow senior managers to see summary risk-reports based on weekly or quarterly baseline simulations, whereas analysts working with the model might see a more comprehensive set of reports on a larger set of simulations that include stress tests. users may configure the risk-reports they habitually view, and their choices are preserved through an editable set of preferences. Users may choose different risk statistics, different reports and different formats for plots. is also multilingual. Continued
